In \u003ci\u003eArchitectures of Revolt\u003c\/i\u003e, the editor and contributors chronicle city-specific case studies from Paris, Berlin, Milan, and Chicago to New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Tokyo. The films discussed range from avant-garde and agitprop shorts to mainstream narrative feature films. All of them share a focus on the city and, often, particular streets and buildings as places of political contestation and sometimes violence, which the medium of cinema was uniquely equipped to capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors include: Stephen Barber\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eStanley Corkin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJesse Lerner, Jon Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eGaetana Marrone, Jennifer Stob, Andrew Webber, and the editor.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Shiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439910030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439910030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019","brand":"Mark Shiel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065586102527,"sku":"9781439910030","price":99.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_941458c3-b186-4a95-9f10-e93544bc518e.jpg?v=1768675951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectures-of-revolt-mark-shiel-9781439910030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
